Each 2020 1 oz Silver American Eagle in this product listing comes to you with a Mint State 69 certification from the NGC. Coins in this condition exhibit full, original mint luster and a maximum of two minor detracting flaws. Acceptable flaws at this certification level include only minuscule contact marks and hairlines, and these flaws must be located outside of the primary focal points of the design field.
Certified Silver American Eagles are shipped to the NGC or an approved third-party depository for grading. The overall condition of the coin, its background field, and surface design elements are judged along with the visual brilliance of the specimen to determine an overall grade. Coins are issued grades on the Sheldon numeric scale between 1 and 70, with 70 representing a perfect coin.
